Hi Daniel, welcome to the family. How old is your grey and what is his name? Just be patient, it takes time for trust to build. If you have any pictures of your grey, we would love to see them.

Nina, thanks for the information. What a great honor to have your parrots involved in the workshops. Hope you take lots of pictures to share with us and come back with lots of information to share. Really haven't seen much of you since the holidays, so don't be a stranger!

Jac is such a cutie. I hope the surgery goes well and Jac is his old self once again. Thanks for the update, Margerite.

Owls Which bird is a scavenger and is not affected by botulism and can eat rotten flesh containing anthrax and cholera bacteria?

Matt, I am so sorry Maggie is having problems. You have done a lot of research and are doing everything you can. I hope the full spectrum light helps and that the full blood work testing provides the answers you need to find the help Maggie needs. Maggie is so adorable in her picture. She is very lucky to have found such a loving companion and my thoughts and prayers go out for her full recovery. God bless her heart and God bless you.

Marguerite, how is your kitty doing? I haven't seen your new thread yet, and I so want to let you know that good thoughts and prayers go out to your precious cat and I hope all is well.

Hi Edi, welcome to the family. Karma to you for choosing to take on a grey who needs help. It sounds like you have things well in hand and I look forward to hearing more about Earl and his progress. With your patience and the bond that is already growing between the two of you, there can be nothing but great success. Can't wait to hear how it goes when he comes home tomorrow. I look forward to hear more from you.

So sorry Rick about the loss of getting Merlin. Keep looking, there is a grey out there for you. Good luck.

So glad to hear everything is find with your friend's grey. Thanks for the update.

Nina, welcome to the family. It is not required that you have a grey to become a member of this forum. I was a member before I became a grey owner. If you have an interest in greys and desire to learn more about them this is the place for you. Please read through the many threads and if you have any comments just pipe in and if you have any questions just ask. Hope to hear more from you and about you.

Steve, how exciting that you get to pick up Charlie tomorrow can't wait to hear how everything goes.

Such great photos of your tiels. I loved the dialogue you provided, it give each of them their own personality. Thanks for sharing your great flock with us. I believe you will make a great grey owner if you choose to go there. Hope to hear more from you.

Jason, I am so very glad Ernie is find and just needed a quiet day. Please keep in touch with us as we care about all of the family. Can't wait to hear more about you and Ernie.

Dave, what a lovely picture of Murphy. I hope everything works out so you can adopt Murphy.

What was the TV station Winged Migration was on or the show, if I may ask, I would like to see it. Thanks for the information.

Hi Rissa, welcome to the family. It's great that you decided to do research before deciding to buy a grey. You will find lots of information here. If you have any questions, just ask and members will try to help you. If you have pictures of your tiels, we would love to see them. Just post them in the other birds room. Hope to see you around!

Ralph, sounds like Dotty and Spencer and you are bonding beautifully. This is great news. I am so happy for you!

So glad that things have worked themselves out with Whisper's feather and that she is fine once again.

Can't hear my grey's heartbeat and I cuddle her all the time. I would listen real close to make sure this isn't a sound the grey is making and if it is not, I agree with others, it is time to see an avian vet. Good luck.

Thanks for sharing Project Perry with us. I wish I could go visit it!

Much a loving and heartfelt poem to a beloved feathered friend. It doesn't matter how long ago we have a loss, we always remember our loved ones. So sorry for your losses. Sheila, thank you for sharing this tribute.

I just spent almost an hour giving Ana Grey scritches on her head and neck. She initiated the activity by coming over and pulling on my hand. When I started to scratch her, she just put her head down and loved it. If I stopped she tugged at my finger to start again. I ended up putting her on my chest and giving her scritches as she closed her eyes and just enjoyed it. She is only 5 months old. She does spend time alone, she plays very well with her toys and is all over her cage, net and boing all day long. She can entertain herself very well and I adore her. So can you give too much affection, well yes you can if you pester your grey all the time. Watch their body language if they don't want a cuddle back off, or they will bite, fly away, whatever to get some peace. If they want a cuddle they will let you know and you should just enjoy being included in their lives.

Hi Rick, karma to you for taking in a rescue. Everyone has given you some great information. I only add that you should get as much information from the rescue personnel about Merlin, great name by the way, as you can. It can only help with getting to know Merlin and his feeding, exercising, interact habits, etc. routine. I believe that will help you understand him and adjust things as needed. Can't wait to see some pictures of Merlin when you get a chance. Congratulations on your new grey and welcome to the family.

That is really cute and sweet rierie. Ana Grey and Lily don't interact at all. They just ignore each other. You are so lucky that Snoopy and Charlie get along so well.

Hi Lyngucci, welcome to the family. Do you have a grey or other parrot? If you do, we sure would love to see some pictures. There are a lot of great people here so just join in and share your interest and knowledge of birds with us.
